Brunch Beat: A bubbly brunch on the water

Hop aboard the Schooner Shearwater for a brunch on the Hudson River with Manhattan by Sail! Nosh on a buffet of finger sandwiches, meats and cheeses, pastries and bagels and enjoy one-of-a-kind views of the Manhattan skyline. Your $44.50 ticket will also get you open bar, including a glass of champagne to celebrate the occasion. Purchase tickets ahead of time because this weekend’s event is already sold out! Have no fear, though: This schooner sets sail from North Cove Marina (385 South End Ave.) every Sunday through September.
